36 patch quilt along

I've decided that I'm going to host another quilt along. I realize that blogland needs another quilt along like it needs another debate on which type of quilting is superior...modern vs. traditional. (HA!) However, I thought it would be fun to host a 36 patch quilt along to celebrate my 36th birthday. If you want to join in the fun, I'd be happy to have you quilt along with me. I'll plan on starting with fabric requirements and size options next Monday. Care to join me? C'mon...what's one more WIP?

hahaha gotta laugh at ourselves. I've been waiting for a quilt a long that looks do-able. As in can be crammed into spare minutes while dinner is cooking, because of course you can't have too many projects on the go. Plus my blog is called Works in Progress so that's my get-out-of-jail-free card! Yeah I'm in.

Maybe that is a good idea - because saturday night I sewed the last stitches on the binding on the quilt that I startet more than three years ago - I discovered your blog at the nineth block in your first quilt along, and cut all pieces that night - It started out really quick, but the blocks were laying in the shelf a long time, until they came along to a shop and we got some help to find the right fabric to borders - so now it is washed and dried - and finished!!And since I am approaching 49 - maybe a little bigger block would be ok....Bodil

I've been a lookie loo of your blog for a few weeks now a silent visitor if you will and just wanted to say how much I love coming back to your blog posts and how refreshing your writing style of your blog is , I do have one question "do you have any extra tips or tricks on getting a straight 1/4 inch seam?" I recently made my first quilt (go me yay lol) and let's just say the term " scrappy " look has nothing on my quilt but I didn't have the heart to tear my seams so followed threw to the end and it's not to bad but I would love to make something as stunning as your quilts Hugs

I am in too, my first quilt along as well, although youhave brought me through three finished quilts and four WIP just by your amazing tutorials and blog...thank you Amanda Jean and Happy Happy Birthday!!

ooh, just in time for the school holidays, when I'm supposed to be working on finishing quilt tops for youngest and middlest, as well as renovating. Sounds like just what I need! But I would like to give it a go....

I have never participated in a quilt along. I have followed you from afar but this time I am jumping right on in. I look forward to quilting along with you. btw, I just completed my first piece quilt top this weekend. I am officially hooked. Now if I could just figure out how to quilt it...:)

I can't think of anyone I'd rather quilt along with than you! And 36 is such a fine square number, much more manageable than the next square milestone on my chronological trajectory. (Hint: It's bigger than 49.) Looking forward to all the soon-to-be-revealed details and the fun.

I want to jump in...hopefully in time with the readiness of my new room and I am already being intrigue with 36P...so far 20...and now...the ultimate - 36P and then it will evolve to D36P ...wowzaaaaa! LOL!

i have never ever done this before, but as i am expecting my third child in 12 weeks, my youngest begins this weeks with kindergarden and we just moved three weeks ago - i guess it is time to start something new. i'm in!!!

I still have yet to put my quilt back on from last years quilt along. But it's the only way I get my quilt tops done - count me in. Yes, I was hoping you would do one this summer. Thanks for all the inspiration.

What fun! I've been resisting all the other quiltalongs, but it's such a nice idea to celebrate your birthday this way that I think I have to join in. Especially since yours is one of the first blogs I followed when I started quilting! :) Happy birthday!

You know I can't resist your QALs! I just made a second "Round and Round", so clearly I'm smitten. Oh, and thanks: I need another WIP like I need a hole in the head... :-)Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us!

I just loved last summers QAL - though I must confess my twin sized quilt top is still just a top...Work in progress:) I don't think I can resist another QAL with you - I can't wait to see what you get started!:) Thanks for the opportunity!

Oh, man, I was just thinking of organizing a sew-along/quilt-along WITH you to share the fun (and the work). Darn. I've often wanted to make a postage stamp quilt. Looks like these squares will be bigger (2" maybe?) but it's pretty close. Definitely tempting.

Many happy returns on your b.day. I'm thinking 36 is a lot of tenny-tiny fiddly pieces right? Not, then may just join in with the fun, otherwise I may just play watch-a-long and drool over the beautiful quilts you all produce.

As so many others, this will be my first quiltalong too. Only fitting that my first is one of yours, I've been a lurker on your site for such a long time (embarassingly long...followed you for years and this is my first comment). Can't wait to get started and follow along!! :)

I'm in! I am recently unemployed...:( but now have plenty of time for sewing. And if it busts stash, it works for me. Also, I love, love my nine-patch quilt that I made a couple of summers ago from an earlier CMG Quilt-along!Tracy
